Description
Natsuo Maki is the student council president of Fujisaki Girls Academy, a second-year student admired by the entire school for her composed, polite, and graceful demeanor. In public, she embodies the ideal of a perfect young lady, always calm and collected. However, her true nature is quite different: Maki is completely inexperienced with romance and harbors a secret, intense fascination with the concept of love. She conducts what she calls love research, using a body pillow with a boy’s picture on it to practice intimate scenarios such as kissing and holding hands. This passion leads her to draft elaborate, often impractical romantic situations, and she recruits Riko Kurahashi, whom she believes to be a love expert, to help her practice and refine her understanding of relationships.
Maki’s motivation stems from a genuine but naive desire to understand love, partly driven by her sheltered upbringing and the pressure to maintain her perfect image. Her approach is methodical and obsessive, yet she remains innocent and earnest about it. She often lacks common sense when it comes to normal social interactions, especially with boys, and her eccentric ideas can be baffling to those around her. Despite this, she is deeply loyal and attached to Riko, viewing her as a mentor and a close friend. Her relationships with the other student council members also develop over time: she shares a professional but strained dynamic with the treasurer, Sayori Mizushima, who often serves as the rational voice among the group, and she eventually befriends the initially jealous vice president, Yuiko Enomoto, and the shy secretary, Suzune Tanahashi.
Throughout the story, Maki’s character development centers on breaking out of her perfect princess shell. She learns to balance her idealistic romantic fantasies with the realities of genuine friendship and school life. Her interactions with the other girls, especially Riko, help her become more self-aware and open to forming authentic connections beyond her structured love experiments. Notable abilities include her natural leadership as student council president, her intelligence, and her unwavering dedication to any task she sets her mind to, even if the task itself is absurd. Her physical traits include being slender with long dark-blue hair and light-blue eyes.
